5/26/2023 0 Comments The shiva trilogy series books![]() ![]() Here I am, typing out this review for the sake of those like me who would otherwise blindside the books. Within twenty four hours, I was done with the trilogy. (The language, of course, left much to be desired, but I decided I could put up with crappy writing because I really wanted to know what happened next in the story). The story was gripping, well-paced and kept me engrossed. Three chapters in, I realised that I liked it. Stuck on a train for six hours with nothing else to do, I did start reading the Immortals. One of them finally thrust a copy of the Immortals of Meluha at me and said, "Read! Your love for Indian mythology will win over your mental block toward Indian writers." Hence, it was not surprising to any of my friends when I responded with derision and cynicism when they recommended Amish Tripathi's SHIVA trilogy over and over. I belong to that small minority of book lovers who believe that authors like Chetan Bhagat and Ravinder Singh have done more harm to reading in India than good. ![]() I do not read books by Indian authors as a rule, no thank you. Warning: Contains spoilers for the series as a whole. ![]()
